but in reality during the pandemic, we have seen the biggest Draconian enforcement of rules and regulations I have personally witnessed in my 40 years on this earth.

Not really, my global contacts do not reflect that at all, it is just presented in the media that way, as each week passes we see more and more examples of just how moderate our "brutal lockdown" actually was compared to other global locations. For example my UK contacts tell me they are paying a very high price for freedoms in the UK, as your brother may know!

So it's a bit of a grass is greener argument made by disgruntled locals, that "somewhere over there" has it better!
